This week’s recommendation comes from:

Molly says, “I’ve read this book with my daughter several times, as well as read to her class when I was a mystery reader. The message of the book is that it’s wonderful to be unique. The story includes children of all physical types, personalities, and abilities, as well as from all kinds of families. It is important for kids to see themselves in books and to hear that they’re perfect just how they are.”

This feel-good, colorful picture book celebrates children and their varied body types, personalities, abilities, skin tones, and family makeups, and reminds our youngsters that what makes them great is that they are unique.
